Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Few military units carry the mystique of the U.S. Navy SEALs. Behind that reputation lies a far richer story of adaptation, demanding training, maritime skill, battlefield experience and an institution repeatedly reshaped by the wars America asked it to fight.U.S. Navy SEALs: UDTs, BUD/S, Vietnam, Naval Special Warfare and the Global War on Terror takes the reader from the underwater demolition teams of the Second World War to the modern Naval Special Warfare community. Michael Durfee follows the transformation of combat swimmers and amphibious reconnaissance specialists into one of the world's most versatile special operations forces.Across eight tightly connected chapters, the reader experiences the evolution of the SEALs through the environments, operations and institutional decisions that defined them: - Origins and selection - wartime frogmen, Underwater Demolition Teams, the creation of the first SEAL teams and the development of BUD/S and the modern training pipeline.- Vietnam and Cold War transformation - riverine warfare, intelligence, maritime support, Grenada, Panama and the reforms that strengthened American special operations.- The wars after 9/11 - Afghanistan, Takur Ghar, Operation Red Wings, Iraq, Ramadi, counterterrorism and the extraordinary operational tempo of the Global War on Terror.- The modern force - leadership, accountability, training standards, undersea access, emerging technology and the renewed integration of Naval Special Warfare with the fleet.The result is a coherent military history of how an elite force is built, employed and sustained. Operations are placed inside their wider strategic context, while training, doctrine, boats, submarines, aviation, intelligence and partner forces reveal the larger system behind the individual operator.Readers will come away with a deeper understanding of how the SEAL community developed its distinctive combination of maritime access, adaptability, small-unit skill and operational reach, and how generations of experience continue to shape its future.For readers of special operations history, modern warfare, naval history and elite military forces, U.S. Navy SEALs opens the World Special Operations Forces series with a detailed journey from the hostile beaches of the Second World War to the complex battlefields and contested seas of the twenty-first century.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Our human lives involve remarkable forms of practical organization--diachronic organization of individual activity; small-scale organization of shared action; and the organization of institutions. In this book, Michael Bratman argues that the key to these multiple, inter-related forms of human practical organization is our capacity for planning agency. Shared and Institutional Agency develops a planning theory of social rules and puts forth an organized institution as involving authority-according social rules of procedure. The view that emerges sees our capacity for planning agency as a core capacity that underlies not only string quartets and informal social rules, but also the rule-guided structure of organized institutions and institutional agency. …
